Well I assumed since he asked this in a 360 board that it had more to do with the games but yes I'd recommend the 1080p tv or setting cause it's always nice to have it now and know you have it later when newer stuff comes out.
There's a difference, but it's based on two things (assuming you're playing on a TV) 1) The bigger your TV, the more noticeable (I say anything above 32" it becomes noticeable) 2) The distance from your TV also determines the difference. But generally speaking, 1080p (1920 x 1080) is higher than ~720p (1366 x 768)
Most 360 games are native 720 so running it at 1080P wont be nearly noticeable or enough to make you go wow.
Plus if the TV is smaller you're even less likely to notice anything between the 2.

Yes, but 1366x768 is not a common resolution for TV. It would be better to use a 1080p (it's better if he wants to watch TV)It's extremely common. Most marketed 720p TVs use this natively. No broadcasts even use 1080p, it's always 720p or 1080i, which is hard to notice the difference on. 1080p would be a good choice for future proofing, but only blu ray and PC tends to use this. Everything else is upscaled and slightly degraded. If the TV is small (32" or less), I'd save money by buying a 720p, or simply waiting until I could buy a 42-50"+ 1080p set.
Hi. Thanks for all the responses. It's a Toshiba 24 inch LCD TV that has the 1366x768. and yes, i'll use it for gaming primarily. The internet is my TV. LOL. I probably will be sitting 2-3 meters away from the screen. So, any more thoughts? :)
If it's mostly for console gaming, that resolution won't matter. Maybe a half dozen games on the 360/PS3 actually render at 1080p (and few of them are retail disc games). The rest are 720p or lower. However, a 24" 1080p TV probably wouldn't cost very much money, and there's no real downside to going to 1080p, especially if you also want the TV to double as a monitor. So unless that 720P LCD is a fantastic deal, it's probably not much more to bump the resolution.
